Hello all,

I have found an article to my question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5176209/what-is-the-best-fastest-way-to-convert-cmsamplebufferref-to-opencv-iplimage

but by testing I get only an unusable image, after I convert the IplImage back to UIImage. (the image is shifted from top to bottom (from left to right). The convert from IplImage to UIImage should be no problem (tested).

Could anyone tell me, how to make it work?

Thanks a log

Regards,

Pai

I am using "CMSampleBufferRef" from video preview buffer. not the captured image. make it different?

You can convert IplImage to Mat with Mat(IplImage*) constructor.

The code for conversion UIImage and cv::Mat is available in this OpenCV tutorial: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/ios/image_manipulation/image_manipulation.html#opencviosimagemanipulation

It will be similar for IplImage, if you don't want to convert it to cv::Mat.

Hello Alexander, thanks for the answer. I have no problem for converting UIImage to IplImage and reverse. with cv::Mat from UIImage to IplImage also no problem. Only I want to try converting directly from CMSampleBufferRef to IplImage, but I got incorrect converted image.

Any idea with CMSampleBufferRef?

Regards,

Pai

You can convert it to cv::Mat then convert it to IplImage.

//convert from Core Media to Core Video
CVImageBufferRef imageBuffer =  CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer);

CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(imageBuffer, 0);

size_t width = CVPixelBufferGetWidthOfPlane(imageBuffer, 0);

size_t height = CVPixelBufferGetHeightOfPlane(imageBuffer, 0);

size_t bytesPerRow = CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRowOfPlane(imageBuffer, 0);

// extract intensity channel directly

Pixel_8 *lumaBuffer = (Pixel_8*)CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddressOfPlane(imageBuffer, 0);

// render the luma buffer on the layer with CoreGraphics

// (create color space, create graphics context, render buffer)

CGColorSpaceRef grayColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();

CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(lumaBuffer, width, height, 8, bytesPerRow, grayColorSpace, kCGImageAlphaNone);

// delegate image processing to the delegate const vImage_Buffer image = {lumaBuffer, height, width, bytesPerRow};

cv::Mat grayImage((int)imagebuf.height, (int)imagebuf.width, CV_8U, imagebuf.data, imagebuf.rowBytes); 
IplImage* img = new IplImage(grayImage);
